353 - The Empress of the Pressure Mountain
As soon as the news of Lu Gongyou's victory on the front line was said, it was really evident that the heartfelt smile on the empress's face was really happy.
But smiling and laughing, the empress still wondered why Wang Xiaolai received the news earlier than herself.
Moreover, why hasn't Narcissus handed over the excerpt of Lu Gongyou's victory until now.
Because of this, the empress seemed a little absent-minded, and after chatting with Wang Xiaolai for a while, Wang Xiaolai also saw that the empress was in a trance, so she excused herself and left.
At the moment after Wang Xiaolai left, the empress called Narcissus and asked what was going on.
It's just strange that after hearing that Lu Gongyou won another battle, the expression on Narcissus's face was also full of surprise, and he exclaimed and asked the empress: "Father-in-law, he won again?" โ
The empress was stunned, how could she see that Narcissus didn't know it, what was going on?
Speaking of the cause and effect, Narcissus said that it shouldn't be, he has been paying attention to the excerpts on the Yongliang front line these days, and he refuses to let go of every letter, not to mention the excerpts of his father-in-law Lu Gongyou, isn't it sent to the empress immediately after he gets it?
But the key problem is that there is no fold at the front at all.
The empress was not suspicious, but in the face of such a military event, she couldn't help but be suspicious, looking at Narcissus, the latter's expression did not seem to be fake. Originally, the empress wanted to ask Narcissus about it, but when the words came to her mouth, she stopped again, and then deceived herself: "It may be that Lu Gong's excerpt has been delivered, and you can't say if Narcissus is missing, go down first." โ
Narcissus Xin said that I have only been staring at the excerpts on the Yongliang front line these days, and there is no possibility of omission, and before I opened my mouth to speak, I saw the uncomfortable expression on the empress's face, and I didn't dare to speak much at that time, so I whispered yes, turned around and went down.
After she left, the empress frowned, looked in the direction of Yongliang, and muttered to herself: "Lu Gong, what trick are you playing?" โ
Did Lu Gongyou really not write down the battle situation and submit it to Daxing City?
Of course, it was impossible, at the moment of the end of the battle, he wrote down the battle in detail, and sent people to Daxing City quickly, it stands to reason that the speed of delivery should be faster than the letter from Shen Xiping to Wang Xiaolai, but what went wrong that Lu Gongyou's excerpts have not appeared in the hands of the empress until now?
There is only one answer.
On the official road leading to Daxing City in Yongliang, in the wilderness next to it, there are several people holding hoes and shovels to dig the ground and pit pits.
On the edge of the pit, there was an envoy lying with several arrows in his chest, and he was already dead of anger.
Looking at the dug soil pit, a person shook the sweat on the door of his head with a hoe in his hand and said: "This King of Guangling is also really, it's okay to toss people blindly, if you are afraid of Lu Gongyou, just find someone to assassinate him, isn't it over, I have to let our brother ambush Lu Gongyou's herald here, and give his mother a good name for his discordant plan, it's really funny." โ
"Come on, don't you say a word, what are their big men thinking, how can we little minions guess? Let's hurry up and get to work, and I'll be back in a while. โ
"Ahh
So saying, the men took the envoy and put it into the pit.

Today's early dynasty is destined to be a restless early dynasty, especially after the empress announced that the Ganquan Palace would be opened for the refugees in Wengcheng.
In the Taihe Palace, the civil and military officials, except for Liu Maolin, who had already learned the news, were all boiling.
Among them, the mountains and rivers are the happiest.
Like what kind of palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven, open at will, it will damage the royal majesty, and if it is serious, it will lead to the instability of the front-line army.
The Qingzhou Party, which had been silent for a long time, jumped up and made noise in the area of Cheng Shanhe.
Yes, you are the Son of Heaven, we can suppress us, but that was when we ignored it, and now it's different, the big truth is on our side, and we dare to jump.
For a time, more than half of the people in the DPRK and China held opposing views.
It's not that these people are all Qingzhou Party, more of them have the same considerations as Liu Maolin, and feel that the empress's move is undignified.
Originally, it was just a court meeting in the early dynasty, and the things that could be explained clearly in three or two sentences were stunned until noon, and no conclusions were drawn.
At first, about half of the officials remained silent, but later they all felt that the Qingzhou Party was right and joined the camp of the Qingzhou Party.
In the entire temple, except for the Eight Sages who had relapsed from their old diseases, they did not come, and those present, Liu Maolin and Li Tianxing, the only two, became the last people to stand on the side of the empress.
It was difficult to reconcile, the empress finally broke out, she was already upset about what happened to Lu Gongyou yesterday, and she was argued for such a morning, who was she in a different mood.
In front of all the ministers, the empress brushed her sleeves away for the first time since she registered, leaving only the people in the Taihe Hall who were still arguing with their own opinions.
All the way to the imperial study, Wang Xiaolai was drawing in it, Leng Buding saw the angry empress striding to him, without saying a word, kicked down the dragon bookcase, followed to the door, pointed to the direction of the Taihe Palace, and was angry: "Is this Sui Yang the Son of Heaven, or is that group of people the Son of Heaven!" โ
The crowd inside and outside the door bowed their heads and pretended not to hear.
Wang Xiaolai didn't understand what was going on, so he asked quietly what was wrong with the Water Fairy Empress.
Narcissus, who knew the details of the matter, hurriedly shushed Wang Xiaolai, signaled Qi Xiu to ask, and stepped forward, intending to comfort the empress.
Before she could get closer, the empress turned her head sharply, raised her eyebrows, and looked like a cannibal: "Get out, get out of here." โ
has been with the empress for so long, Wang Xiaolai intuitively told him that the empress is really angry, if he dares to go up with a hippie smile at this time, it is no different from looking for death.
Not daring to say a word, everyone ran away.
In the imperial study, it became empty for a while.
There was only one person left, and the empress finally couldn't hold on any longer, plopped, fell and sat on the ground, raising her forehead with her hand, and her face was unpredictable.
No one knows what the empress felt at this time.
At this time when he doubted his life, Wang Xiaolai, who had left before, ran back again, and the empress was stunned for a while.
In the empress's puzzled gaze, Wang Xiaolai trotted to the table, picked up the drawings he had drawn earlier, put them in his arms, and then ran away in a gloomy manner.
"Come back!"
The empress shouted.
Wang Xiaolai, who had just taken a step, stopped when he heard the sound, turned back with difficulty, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Your Majesty, it's not me who makes you angry, don't look for me to be angry." โ
The empress snorted and didn't speak, she stood up and walked towards Wang Xiaolai, came to the front, and patted Wang Xiaolai on the shoulder, which scared this guy so much that he almost didn't sit on the ground.
"Then Your Majesty, if you have something to say, don't be like this."
Afraid that the empress would use herself as a sandbag, Wang Xiaolai first used words to block the empress.
Who would have thought that the empress just shook her head and asked, "Do you have any gunpowder in your hand now?" โ
Wang Xiaolai thought for a while: "Yes, there are, but there are not many, they are all used for experiments." โ
The empress pointed to her feet: "All of them have moved me to this imperial study." โ
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" Wang Xiaolai asked.
The empress said: "It's nothing, I just want to listen to the sound, relax, and then blow up this imperial study." โ
Wang Xiaolai: "!! โ
"Your Majesty, your head is fine."
When he spoke, Wang Xiaolai put his hand on the empress's forehead, it was normal, and he didn't have a fever or anything.
Seeing what Wang Xiaolai was thinking, the empress knocked off his claws: "Go, I'm fine." โ
"Okay, you still blow up the imperial study, you blew up this place, and where will you go to review it."
The empress muttered in a low voice: "But I saw the imperial study in my heart was inexplicably irritable. โ
Wang Xiaolai understood as soon as he heard it, the empress was on fire in her heart, and she had nowhere to vent her pressure: "Cheng, in this case, then Your Majesty, I will take you to a place to ensure that you are okay." โ
Empress: "??? โ
"Follow me."
Wang Xiaolai grabbed the empress and walked away.
The two came all the way to Chengqian Palace, which was originally Suizhu's residence, but had already been transformed by the empress into a place for Wang Xiaolai to develop well fire and gunpowder.
